The Future
When planning the treatment path for children born with a Single Ventricle
Heart Condition, it is important to look at the quality of life that they may be
able to attain.
The advancements in surgery have enabled many children to enjoy life, joining
with their peers in their education and play. They may have to learn to compromise
on physical activity but they are able to lead full lives; some have even gone on to
have families of their own.
However in some, the heart will gradually tire and begin to fail despite treatment.
It may be that transplantation will be the treatment of choice at that time.
If you would like more information on treatment changes or you would like to be
able to talk with the parents of children with these complex disorders contact
the Little Hearts Matter team on 0121 455 8982.
